[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1668339"] The "red x" (which you shouldn't be using anyway) doesn't do that -- unless perhaps you mean your clicking a link for a new story opened up a new WINDOW, in which case closing that window would reveal your original window behind it. If that's what was happening, then what's happening now is that the default behaviour on the browser when you click a link now takes you to the link in a new TAB (and you're not noticing this), so when you click the red x (which, again, you shouldn't be doing), it closes the entire window and all tabs with it. If you're getting tabs, then what you want to be doing is closing each TAB as you're done with it rather than the entire Safari Window. Here's a line of tabs on my copy of Safari right now, with my cursor about to close the Mac-Forum tab: [ATTACH=FULL]22489[/ATTACH] You can read more about Safari tabs and how to use them here: [url]https://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/browsers-safari-osx-using-tabs.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
